If the job site has a policy against headphones, I’d be blaming that. I’ve gotten yelled at for pulling mine out while on break/lunch at a few jobs, which is totally bullshit. I’m not working, and am just sitting in the break room, not in any danger because I can’t hear shit. Fuck off.
I’ve worked in machine shops for over 20 years, and the strictest I’ve seen is “one ear plug in, the other can be an ear bud.” Never seen a complete ban, and that is complete bull shit. I feel for you.
